However the Kindle ignores all metadata except cover, title, author and published date anyways, and calibre will update those when you send to device.

do I understand you correctly that, if you change a cover in calibre, and then send the file to the device, the cover is changed without doing a conversion? because that's not what I've found happens, although I last experimented on this several months ago and it could have changed.
I mostly use mobi because I do have a kindle (a k3, if that matters). I like having the metadata comments (a book description) up front in a book, so I can tell what the book is about before i get into it - I have so many books on my k3 that I forget why I have which books. I do have a lot of my books in both files formats, though. Are you saying that when I get a mobi file, I should convert it to epub for archive reasons, because that's a superior format?
If I have a book in both mobi and epub (and I do have a lot that way) do I need to convert or use Manage Eputbs to make the changes twice, once in each format?
